STACKED’s take

Young's two-week stretch (648 yards, 6 TDs) marks a corner-turn in Canales' offense.

Young opened the 2026 season with 361 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and a rushing score in Week 1 against Chicago, followed by 287 passing yards and three more passing touchdowns without a turnover in Week 2 against Atlanta. Through two games, he has 648 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown—clearing 285 passing yards only four times in his first 47 career games. Tremblay notes Young finally looks comfortable in Dave Canales' offense, throwing downfield and making decisions with conviction instead of the checkdown-heavy play that characterized his earlier tenure. Young is in his mid-twenties and was written off as a bust by many managers, pushed to QB3 or waiver-level value; if he's turned the corner, he transitions from a sunk cost to a long-term starter at a scarce position in superflex leagues.
